Undertale creator Toby Fox releases new game called Deltarune

IMG_2110.PNG

As teased yesterday by Toby Fox, creator of the mega-hit indie game Undertale, his next project has been revealed as a game called Deltarune. The short game is a free download for Windows and OSX, and appears to be a working demo that is being used as a teaser, rather than a full experience. Its title, Deltarune, is also a reference to Undertale, being an anagram of the latter's name as well as the visuals sporting callbacks to certain moments from the 2015 game. Toby Fox claims that he wishes to begin a new game, and that this teaser was released to garner player feedback. On the download page, you can see "warnings" that tell the player to "refrain from discussion" until 24 hours have passed, and "accepting everything that will happen from now on". If you run the free game, it'll notably trigger Windows Defender, to which you'll have to disregard the message it gives you, and run it anyway. Right now it's not known what entirely this game is composed of, but if you're a fan of Undertale, it could be a fun Halloween treat.

* THERE MAY BE MOVING OR FLASHING IMAGERY.
* YOU MAY HAVE TO OVERRIDE SECURITY PROTOCOLS TO USE THE PROGRAM.
* FOR PUBLIC SAFETY, YOU ARE ADVISED TO REFRAIN FROM DISCUSSION OF THE PROGRAM FOR 24 HOURS.
* YOU ACCEPT EVERYTHING THAT WILL HAPPEN FROM NOW ON.

Toby Fox explicitly said it was a demo and subject to change in the full release.
Huh, guess I was wrong.
That explains version number 0.6.6.6.

Edit: I actually realised that the number is 666, and since it was halloween, this has nothing to do with version numbers.

I can't decide whether I liked this or Undertale better.
Speaking of, even though I completed Undertale I should have played it again, only with the peaceful ending...

You should.

Where did he say that exactly?

Just finished the demo, it was quite fun, and feels like a good upgrade from Undertale. Also, Ralsei is adorable. I'm looking forward to the full game, whenever that may be.

Where did he say that exactly?

"Is this the game's final design? Will you change anything?"

It's possible I could change things. This is basically a demo. I might even change this first chapter before release depending on how development goes.

OH MY GOD I HATE THAT BOSS
Just make sure you repair the TOP CAKE and get some food from the shops (70HP is recommended).
Already did that
but the guy can take 70 HP from all my guys in a single turn sometimes, and when that happens twice in a row I'm pretty much screwed. The attack patterns are too haphazard for me to avoid.

And here's a linux build:
https://transfer.sh/E1goi/deltarune_linux2.tar

I exported a Linux binary from a blank GM:S project and a friend figured out where to move everything so it all works (which took more time than you'd think)
Some of the audio files still won't play as it can't find them, not sure what the issue is but if anyone figures out a way to get those to work let me know. That should all be fixed now, it was a simple uppercase/lowercase issue. Link updated.

Nothing you can do but git gud, I'm afraid. You don't need to perfectly dodge everything, but if you can get it to where attacks will generally hit you at most once, it's fairly easy to heal and keep doing damage/ACT.

Just played 80 minutes of it, got bored, unninstaled. It's more of the same and the jokes are not even funny.

  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it
    +1
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying
    +1
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    yes looks like an faulty sd
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    @Psionic Roshambo i may try that with my dead sd cards
    +1
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    It's always worth a shot
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @The Real Jdbye, I considered that, but i'll have to wait until i can get the eu version in the mail lol
  • I @ I-need-help-with-wup-wiiu:
    i need help with nusspli failed downloads, can someone respond to my thread? pretty please:wub:
